What I got for my birthday

28 May 2013

Hiya lovelies!

First things first, posts like these need a little disclaimer to stop people from hating right? So let me get this straight, I'm beyond grateful to have received loads of lovely presents from loads of lovely people. I know I'm really blessed and wouldn't dare take things like this for granted. Also, mum I know you're reading this, thank you for spoiling me day by day, love you xxx

It was my birthday on the 15th, can't believe that's almost two weeks ago already! I thought I'd only include beauty related pressies as I'm definitely going to review those in the future. I honestly love every single thing I got, everyone's been so lovely and remembered things I talked about and had on my wishlist for ages, my brother even got me a lipstick haha bless him. The thing that probably excited me the most though was the MAC makeup lesson my mum booked me in for. I went there yesterday and it was amazing! I'll definitely write a seperate post about it so keep your eyes peeled for that. Mum and Dad also got me the Origins Drink Up 10 minute intensive face mask which I've been lusting after for a while as well as a Taylor Swift fragrance which smells incredible. The Urban Decay Naked Basics palette was another thing I had on my wishlist, as I don't really own any matte eyeshadows. I think this looks great paired with a bright lip instead of shimmery shades which can look a bit overdone at times, so my lovely nan got me this. My siblings were so sweet as well, I got a couple of rose scented candles, a notebook and matching pen to use as a blog diary [how thoughtful!] and the Maybelline Shocking Coral lipstick which I adore. It's such a lovely wearable shade and another product I'm going to review for you soon. Last but certainly not least, my boyfriend bought me some Real Techniques brushes which I forgot to include in the picture and another YSL lipstick in Peach Passion, a shade Zoella wears, need I say more haha. The L'oreal Rouge Caresse lipstick was a cheeky little present to myself which I've already reviewed here. I'm really grateful for everything I received as well as your lovely birthday messages, thank you lovelies!

Hope you enjoyed this post, do send me links to your birthday post as I love a good nosey :)
